> Lithium is a mine once, use forever resource. It's an element. It will cost energy to recycle it It's not at all obvious to me that recycling is easy/practical. E.g. recycling the alloy from alloy steel is not done because it is too costly to separate. I'm not sure why batteries would be much different. |

It’s not. Other poster is just ignoring reality that it’s currently cheaper to use new lithium than to recover it.
